Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the sign "Calvi" is misleading as a geographic indication for the claimed metal products
Decisione estratta
Yes. The public would mainly understand "Calvi" as the Corsican town, so the sign conveys a geographic origin that does not match the goods.
Motivazione estratta
A geographic term normally suggests origin. The alternatives relied on by the respondent were not more natural to Swiss consumers. Because metal products could plausibly be imagined as originating from Corsica, the sign creates a risk of deception under trademark law.
